Spore

A pretty good game, take a creature you create through five stages: cell stage, creature stage, tribal stage, civilization stage and space stage. Cell stage is basically a tutorial, creature stage, you have to socialize or extinct other creatures, tribal stage, you have to musically impress other tribes, or destroy them, civilization stage, you have to capture the twelve cities on your home planet, and space stage, you meet other empires, befriend or go to war with them, and try to get to the centre of the universe, which is the end of what you really need to do, but it goes on forever afterwards, until your empire gets taken out. My second favourite game, just after mount and blade warband. If you are interested, check out wikis and forums, they probably explain much better than me.

We had a whole thread on this. Consensus was that it was a good concept with ****ty gameplay.

I've only got to tribal stage, but I've watched YouTube videos, and read a wiki.

Played it until the industrial age. It was a cute and entertaining little game until then, but I uninstalled it after that. Just got bored.

Space age is a bummer. Rinse and repeat on galactic proportions.

Cell and Creature phase were the best, IMO. Tribal was kinda meh, City was the worst, and Space became boring after the novelty of terraforming and blowing up planets wore off.

I've only played this for a good 11 hours and while i did get to the space age and carve out a huge empire the length of one of the spiral arms, it quickly got boring and devolved into me simply wiping out alien races with napalm rockets and planet busters. By the way, has anybody been able to log onto the Spore servers?. I've tried multiple times to login with my existing EA account(I've tried to reset my password but their reset password page is broken) and i can't create a new one because it keeps telling me my email and password is incorrect.

I never bought the game since it sounded really dull after the midgame, but I hear there's several mods that are supposed to make the game more fun. I'll probably pick it up if it's ever bundled.

April Fools was two months ago dude. Not that this would have been a good joke of a thread then either.
